Majestic Marquez grabs Italy pole for 6th straight
Print Edition
SPAIN’S MotoGP world champion Marc Marquez secured his sixth successive pole position in six races this season as he timed fastest in qualifying for today’s Italian Grand Prix at Mugello.
The 21-year-old Honda rider, who has won the opening five races this season to become the first rider since Giacomo Agostini in 1972 to achieve that feat, was recording his 43rd career pole.
He edged out Italian Andrea Iannone of Ducati and Spain’s two-time world champion Jorge Lorenzo on a Yamaha.
Lorenzo, who has had a poor season by his high standards and presently stands in just fifth place in the championship race, 80 points adrift of Marquez, was happy with his performance.
“I’m satisfied with third place because it’s important to start in the first row here to try to avoid some problems with the first laps and be with the front group,” said the 27-year-old.
Honda’s Dani Pedrosa was fourth and seven-time world champion Valentino Rossi, on a Yamaha, qualified 10th in what will be his 300th race at the top level after a mix up over his tires.
“We made a big mistake in the qualifying, we decided to change the front tire at the same time as the second rear,” said the 35-year-old Italian, who last year ended a two-season winning drought when he won the Dutch GP.
